Photographer's Note

The municipality of “Nordeste” (Northeast), is one of the most attractive in São Miguel.

It is characterised by an irregular surface area almost totally covered with trees. Many of the exotic sylvan species used for the production of wood and for the protection of properties along with a great variety of other lush vegetation are in abundance here.

- “Pico da Vara”, the highest point on the island, with an altitude of 1105m, challenges you to a one and a half to two hour walk along a path which offers magnificent scenery and intimate contact with nature in the most primitive form.(Note: Since Pico da Vara is considered Natural Reserve, previous authorisation by the Regional Forestry Ministry is required and a tour guide)

- The climb to “Pico Bartolomeu”, where one of the RTP/A (Azorean television station) antennas is found, is another of the many worthwhile hikes available.

Olá Joana...
Wonderful scene and perfect landscape photograph... The light, the green tones and their contrast between the blue sky are beautiful... Also beautiful point of view and shot...
Stay well..

Hi Joana, i first thought that i wouldn't let you a comment because of your nationality cause i'm soooo jealous !! Portugal is playing well and is sure to play in 1/8ème ! France is not sure at all !!!! Nevermind, i'm kidding and it's with a true pleasure to let some words on this nice picture, my favorite part is the green fields, very sharp and nice looking.
Good !!
Good luck for Portugal !

Hi Joana!
Excellent landscape photo once again! Excellent composition and colours. Great exposure, sharpness and contrast. beautiful sky. Is there a house that I see in the picture. If it is and it looks so tiny then i can imagine the vastness of the area. Very good point of view.

Filakia,

PS. Congratulations for your National Team. The dificult part stars today. I wish you good luck!

At last, I am taking a look at your gallery again. This one is delightful, with the light and the shadows of the clouds on the landscape. And so clear! I love the groups of trees and the neat fields, and the sky. I'm glad you included the distant mountain on the right, it adds perspective and depth. A simple but great shot.
Regards,
Andrew
